Idaho Envirothon 2010Idaho Envirothon 2010 was another successful year at Living Waters Ranch in Challis,
Idaho. The Camas SCD did not have a team to sponsor this year, so instead offered their Administrative Assistant, Kaylin

The students delivered educational and impressive presentations regarding the topic of : "Protection
of Groundwater Through Urban, Agricultural and Environmental Planning"
